In Griefs Darkest Hours Poem by John Duffy

A painful day will come

Soon

My beloved

When I am no longer around

To share my love and sweet
Smiles

But you will find happiness

When this once penned

Love letter is eventually found

Yes you
You will cry

Like the Holy River is
Running down your soft cheeks

Just wondering why I disappeared
So long ago

When things between us died

Those precious tears
Which may seem to fall

Endlessly

When you look for me
Up in dark storm-filled
Skies

But dear beloved
Don't search for me
Aimlessly

Throughout all the
Busy villages

Or big cities
Streets

For
I am here
Deep inside

To whisper through beloved
Memories

To bring to you
Much needed inner peace

For I'll always love you

May these words
Still linger

And resonate deep inside

To help you cross
Mother Griefs

Notorious picket line

And
If there ever comes a time

When they seem to lose their glimmer
Or shine

Or just
Through time
Slowly fade

Just pick up one of my
Divine memories sticks

One of my old photographs

And revisit our once happy
Memories Parade

For I am simply
A heartbeat away

A silent joyous thought

On a beautiful Summers day

A warm embrace

While the Winters starlings
Play

Just forever
Keep me real close

Within the deep recesses
Of your mind

Don't let Father Time
Tear us apart but

Just let me live

Within each and every
Beat of your heart

For here's a secret

Many cursed by
Father Time

Simply forget

A few flowers on specific days

May seem so precious

But for us who live inside

If you can remember us in
The good times

The happiness and joyous
Occasions

Then we will be reborn

In your beautiful tear-filled eyes

To always return to
Help you conquer

Your soft tears and perhaps a

Seemingly never-ending
Depression

So smile now and just
Think of me

So I can be reborn
To always see

All you can be
